I design, maintain and host websites for small businesses with SEO, usability and accessibility in mind.
I am a freelance web designer in Bakersfield, California. For over a decade, I did amateur web design work on my own and as my duties at the Port of San Diego. I made a career change and turned my passion for web design and communicating information into my profession. My skill set includes: design principles, HTML5, CSS, CSS3, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, jQuery, WordPress, Photoshop, Illustrator, photo editing, graphic design, video editing and copywriting. I have degrees in English and web design and am continuously studying to broaden and keep my skills current. I enjoy designing informative, e-commerce, and blog sites. I would love to create the perfect website for you.
Work Terms
I am on the west coast and my hours are usually Monday through Friday 9am to 6pm Pacific Standard Time. On occasion, for exciting projects, I work on the weekends too.
When hired for a project, I will create a project plan that clearly states objectives, goals, milestones and cost. I may also have clients fill out questionnaires to assist me with getting all the information needed for a site.
I prefer to communicate via e-mail, but am also on Skype if you are more comfortable speaking face-to-face (virtually). I provide weekly status reports to my clients during projects.
